For those who will be evacuating west through Lake Charles, you can all get a good look at the Cap1 building and some of the destruction that’s still visible off I-10 and see what you’re possibly in for.

Only thing I hate about leaving is I go to my parents in Birmingham.
Unfortunately all the storms swing that way and driving back through the storm to get home to New Orleans sucksssssssss.

Is the shear from the storm in the pacific that Levi mentioned as a potential or something else?

Just going to throw this out there for anyone thinking about evacuating.
We have evacuated a few times over the years, and each time it was for hurricanes that followed similar inland paths that this one is expected.
We have always gone up to north MS, and traffic has always been minimal. We've evacuated before the storm and just after, and in either case we either got a little wind/rain when the storm eventually passed through, or we drove in rain the whole trip.
I know people generally say go east/west for these things, but it's not all that bad going somewhere well inland of the storm's eventual path (in this case, northeast) to avoid all the traffic and to find available hotel rooms.
That being said, we have a few rooms booked in north MS if it looks like power will be out for several days.

Well don’t forget the Gustav blow wasn’t just a function of storm strength. It was the fact that BR had gone abnormally long without hurricane force winds, so you had a lot of weak trees sticking around.
That here has been culled a bit.
Right, but...don't forget about the ice storm that did a number on trees and large limbs, I'd imagine there are a ton that were weakened

I'd take the hmon and hwrf over the gfs

By keeping them at home for a possible CAT 3 hurricane? Because you don’t want to get stuck in traffic with them?
I disagree
Because I don’t want to risk my kids getting stranded on the side of the interstate. I’ve been a part of plenty of evacuations and I’ve ridden out plenty of storms. I know what my house can handle and I make preparations accordingly.

Does it appear at this point that the longer it takes to make landfall, the more likely the high in the southeast ends up closer to LA and pushes Ida to a more western side landfall in the cone?

I understand that but also think about the sound of the wind will do to a kid at such a young age.
Just something to keep in mind.

I thought the high was breaking down as the week went on so I thought it would be the opposite but Duke or rds will know.

So do I need to gtf out if Nola today?
Posted on 8/27/21 at 7:51 am to Jwho77
I guess the good news is I’m on the west side in this scenario
But a Cat 2 in BR would be not ideal

The fact that last year was so active of a season in La, many of the weakened and dying trees in SoLa were knocked down and have been subsequently removed. I would say that is a somewhat of a silver lining this go around.

For those going North
The Country Inn& Suites in Ruston is very nice & allows pets

Correct. So I would assume slower = more east. But definitely listen to rds, duke, etc

That depends on a number of factors.
